Land dispute leaves over five people dead in South Sudan’s capital, Juba

March 6, 2012 (JUBA) – More than five people have been killed and more wounded over a land dispute in Juba. The incident pushed President Salva Kiir to deploy security forces to stop the violence and maintain security and calm in the South Sudan’s capital.

The clashes erupted over two days, on Sunday and Monday, between members of the Bari community and non-Bari, particularly the Dinka and Nuer inhabitants in the capital, north of Munuki area.

Authorities say the fighting erupted when a group of armed men believed to be from the Bari community came in a pickup truck and attacked people from an area called Kamiru which is predominantly inhabited by Dinka and Nuer, accusing them of stealing their land.

This came after an argument on Sunday involving members from the Bari community, although other sources claimed that they were land officers from Central Equatoria state, and members from Nuer and Dinka communities over ownership of some plots of land in the area.

The attackers opened fire and killed a man and a child before driving off, prompting some of the inhabitants to react by attacking the homes in the neighbourhood which they suspected of belonging to the Bari community. A number of houses were burnt down, leaving at least 8 people dead.

On Tuesday, relatives of the deceased carried the dead bodies to the South Sudan’s parliament and criticised the government for not responding to the incident which involved the use of firearms.

However, heavy deployment of military police around the area was witnessed by Sudan Tribune reporters on Monday.

The commissioner of Juba County, Peter Ladu Gore, while addressing the mourners on Tuesday, said the incident will be dealt with by the national government.

Speaking to the press shortly after briefing President Salva Kiir Mayardit on Tuesday about the incidents, Interior Minister Alison Manani Magaya, said Kiir had appreciated steps taken by his ministry to address the issue but directed security organisations to maintain law and order while urging the parties involving the conflict to restrain from violence.

"The police and security forces have been deployed to the site. They are in control of the situation" Magaya told reporters, while admitting that five people had been killed and 3 others had sustained serious injuries.

Magaya denied reports claiming that seven people were killed in the clash. "This is very unfortunate incident but it is not true that seven people have been killed. Our reports indicate 4 lives have been lost," Magaya explained. Independent sources told Sudan Tribune that actually at least ten people were killed during the clashes.

Governor of Central Equatoria state, Clement Wani Konga, at the same press briefing announced that the demolition in Block 107 is suspended for a special arrangement to be carried out to relocate those who will be affected by the exercise to a new site. He called for calm and people to refrain from taking revenge between the communities.

He explained to the press that the clashes in Gudele and Kamiru village came as a result of a land dispute between some individuals of Bari community of Kamiru Village, and some soldiers displaced from New Site.

"Let us not politicise this issue. This is an administrative matter. We appeal to our people to understand our position and respond. We have stopped the demolition exercise. It will not continue," announced Governor Konga

The incident sparked serious on air discussions on South Sudan radio on Monday and Tuesday with accusations and counter-accusations between the rival communities.

Land conflicts over Juba city has been going on for several years since the establishment of the government of South Sudan in 2005. Members of the host community, the Bari, have been since accusing inhabitants from other states of grabbing their land. They also accused them of not following the legal procedures of acquiring land through the Central Equatoria state’s ministry of physical infrastructure.

However, non-Bari residents also accuse Bari community of not behaving as if Juba is the federal capital for all South Sudanese, but treating others like aliens. They also say the state authority is deliberately refusing to process applications from citizens coming from Greater Bahr el Ghazal and Greater Upper Nile regions.

They also accuse them of allegedly targeting and demolishing homes of non-Bari which are well built, with concrete materials, when carrying out road surveys.

Bari chiefs who claim that land belongs to the community are also criticised for allocating lands and selling them to non-Bari residents only to renege on the agreements and reclaim the territory as stolen land.

The national government of South Sudan last year resolved to relocate the federal capital to Ramciel in the centre of the country, saying Juba will not unite the people of South Sudan as their national capital.

The decision to maintain Juba as the capital during the six year interim period came when a group of Bari elders and intellectuals met with the late SPLM leader, John Garang, in Nairobi before the signing of the CPA and protested against the then plan by the SPLM to move the capital to Ramciel.

The latest incident in the capital is the deadliest land dispute since 2005. Non-Bari members from other regions over the FM talk shows accused the Bari of allegedly being agitated by Khartoum to initiate insecurity in the capital as part of its agenda to destabilise South Sudan, an allegation denied by the Bari.

A member of South Sudan’s parliament, Tongun Ladu, who represents the Munuki constituency where the incident took place, was accused by the residents of inciting the violence against non-Bari at the site.

Ladu denied the accusations, saying that he just recovered from illness and could not have been involved in the violence.

However, the Bari chief in the area, who allegedly sold the plots to the non-Bari and later on reclaimed them, was reportedly arrested by the authorities.

On Tuesday, a group of people from Central Equatoria state protested in the streets of Juba and matched to the South Sudan’s parliament singing the slogans “we shall never surrender” while displaying their dead in front of the parliament building.

These tall and ugly monkeys need to go to Ramshit city and leave Bari alone,this is not cattle camp whereby you act stupidly.

The constitution says every citizen has the right to reside any where in South Sudan. What we need is how to regulate the land usage without any discriminations or shortsightedness that this is Bari, that is Dinka or that is Nuer or Zande. We all eat the revenue of oil to run our government and it comes from Upper Nile. Why not share land if we can happily share our oil which is not in Juba?

The so called constitution does not tell you grabs the land or properties that does not belong you.
Do Not take it by force,buy it and have title deed,Not just taking weapons and killed the owner and his or her properties.This is Not Jonglei state where by human being lives are wasted for nothing,in juba ,pple value life.

Mi diit, you truly hit the nail on the head...The Bari community has to understand that we S. Sudan citizens are entitled to live everywhere in all 10 states as long as we acquired the land in legal manner...sharing Oil revenues from the upper nile is a good shout out to Bari community that they need to understand that land sharing is no exception.

Mr. Deng, it’s really irrational that some of u come around here to write such a stupid comments to defend the Dinka and Nuer constitution. i lost 4 persons( among them children aging 2yrs and 5yrs plus one hospitalize). please u guys learn how to respect others and also know the rights of other persons.Don’t buy the notion that guys are the liberators,pl’se check with Abel about the Equatorians.

BARI OR EQUATORIANS SHOULD KNOW THAT KOKORRA WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME.THE NON-BARI WILL NOT LEAVE THERE PROPERTIES TO YOU AGAIN.WE WILL FIGHT A DEADLY BATTLE EVER WITNESS IN THE SOUTH.DON’T START WHAT YOU WILL NOT FINISH.TAKE CARE,YOUR GREEDS WILL KILL YOU.

Mi dit, you are correct dear, Bari don’t know that if the Greater Upper Nile stop the sharing of oil for whole South would only be adisadvantage to them. They are now employed in different States of South and enjoying the same rights as citizen.
Donkey’s will never helps you to grow intellectually like the Mighty Nuer and Dinka,but we ’ll ruled you for ever,kill us we will be your leaders.

Dinka and Nuer should boycott giving Bari the share of their oil revenue because it’s from their homeland. It’s mindless to suggest Dinka and Nuer are taking their land.
Bari should grow up and think like human.

@ Omoni Jr.mind your words if you can contest for any governmental position in any part of South Sudan,but also you should read,analyzed and digest the content of the article before you comment,I beg your mental pardon please Sir.

Amoni or what the hell you might be, it was through the struggle of those whom you said to be tall and ugly that brought the current independent you are enjoying without knowing the source, anyway moving the capital is not far from now but what is the benefit now as 8 p,ple have lost their lives? Bari had no say when Juba was under Arab control but now U r just barking under minding the hero tribe

may the lord raise soul of those killed by idiot bulls ,look let me tell u the so called Dinka and Nuer who always claim that ,they have brought peace in the south and continuing creating chaos in south with their so call traditional government full of chiefs,take ur ass out from equatoria,if not u will leave by running to ur damn village.

Omoni JR
All Equatoria employees are being paid using oil money from Unity & Upper nile states. The owners of the oil are the same people you don’t want them in Juba. I hope the citizens of Unity & Upper Nile should protest about mistreatment of their people by Bari community in Juba and stop any oil revenue going to Equatoria and government immediatelt implement transfer of capital.

Stop commenting like an ediot,Dinkas have a right to own grater Equatoria not only Bari land with out paying a single coin since we are the liberators of this country.Otherwise be informed if you don’t need problems in your life.

Very sad and unfortunate,
We should embrace peace and not give enemies of progress chance, i urge our govt to intervene and this issue solved.
let there be rules regulating access to land and if they are there then they should be reviewed to answer all these counter accusations. our govt should seriously wake up.

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of South Sudan. And therefore, as a free man, we take pride in the words " South Sudan!" A child miseducated is a child lost. you are really really lost boy!

I don’t know Dinkas and Nuer are fond of casing crises to people life in the whole South Sudan. What aims do they get from over-killing innocence people? Are you advice to do that by Bosses in both sides.

You know Juba is a land of God’s loving people who like all dignity despite their races and creed. But you seen wanted all people of Juba to take any action evils as you are doin

Let us be sincer about ourself in adresssing the issue of inequality in south sudan and the distribution of wealth around us. Denka and Nure got oil and they controll jobs for their. However, the Equatoria have only Land in their State, and i thing they(Equatoria)have a right to protess about whoever want to grab their Land by force or in cheap. You have Oil which youre.

Omjomni,
With due respect to the innocent dead bodies.. i say f***k you with your chronic racism against Nuer and Dinka in Juba. Bari are so racist becuase of their monkeys ancestral nature including you. If they want to fight us we are very ready. No more kokoro shiit. we will response forcefully against your negative agression...peace to nice people of RoSS!

This local called bari donot understand nuer capacity in thinking, that why they careless letting oil off frying pot into the fire. But the # one in looting folks so-called nuer with an impatient behavior made it the worst to highest degree. I bid next time, you little bari should push ur case with nuer to higher level.

Unfortunate incident. Grabbing land is not good. Denying others from acquiring land in Juba is not good too. Selling plots to non Bari by Bari chiefs and then reclaim them after taking the money is not good too. Targeting expensive houses for demolitions by CES is not good too. Capital belongs to every citizen. Authorities should regulate it well without any discriminations.

You are an idiot. Just ruminate over how those bari monkeys are behaving moron. where in the world would one sells a property and come back to claim it? This is pathetic. Those freaken neanderthals do not understand.

Don P advice your pple to buy a land with a proper doc. Otherwise, who told them to buy a land which has been demarcated? The whole VP has been a victim to such land. And by the way, the land is the only resources to the Bari pple like wise cows are also the resources for your pple. Or you are trying to tell the Bari pple to go for cattle raiding and stealing of your cows and children?

@ Joseph
If Land is the only resource the Bari people have than that means we have a big problem in our capital city and we have to adress this problem by listening to the Bari people first. However in this case demarcated land or not,no one has the right to reclaim land which he already sold. That is the proffesion of a fraudster.

Look like Equatorian are discriminate others none Equatorian just because of land. There is a funy lands from Dinka and Nuer however, Equatorian people must be careful. 1/2 million young men in the SPLA from Dinkas had died in Equatoria regions apart from others region like Al Nile and Blue Nile. Most of Equatorian young haven’t contribute well during the 21st civil war of the SPLA/SPLM.

Fuck you madina, Equatorian dies in this War, whjo are you to say Equatorian to be careful because, what happen two days back, am asking all Bari not to keep Quit until they clear same number they lost, NO Peace Without Releasing this Pain,
where are those Bari with Poisons wake up , it is the time now, where are LOGORO Boys cpome out with you active winds, am calling you Boys , this is Time

LoJuba,
you are really very foolish enough, instead of saying a word on condolence to your deceased Bari people you are still encouraging them to continue with attack which they will never manage at the end as they have just lost that number mean while the majority from greater Bhar El G and upper have not yet joined the incident, I am from Equatoria but will not support that useless & chaos idea

Lojuba you are not a fighter, but a coward. A true fighter cannot call for a poison, but can confront. This proves that I was right when I told you that areas like RUJAL mafi and LUBAS mafi were named by ARABS in the presence of Bari pple.the likes of you are suppose to be considered as traitors or foreign oriented individuals

Firstly, my heart goes out to the families of those who passed away, may their souls rest in peace.
As for all those idiotic comments posted by blind tribal goons above; its way out of sanity, where are you people from, huh? who in the their right senses, would advocate death, as a means to justify the end?
Histroy tells us a lot about the past, Equatorians are not stupid as you think, beware!

Bari community
We regret the death of the beloved citizens, but Bari people should know that the capital does not belong to them as before, that’s why it is called the capital. They were in Khartoum and there was no any Arab member or clan who claimed the ownership of Khartoum. Southerners used to obtain lands without problem. I hope it will not happened to Dinkas at Ramchiel, it is for all.

Don P & Medina Tong ur lil brain will not help u in any argument against what happened on Sunday &b Monday btwen Bari and ur subhuman pple. 1/2 died in Equatoria land n who cares? Equatoria did not participate in civil war who cares? we accepted that u r the only pple who fought the war well? but you WILL never take EQUATORIA land by force. Let remain u that such mentality is the course of the on

@ Joseph,
you must be a tribalist to think that i am one. I do not advocate for Nuer and Dinka to grab Land. I dont think Dinka or Nuer deserve better treatment just because they fought. I dont respect anybody who thinks his tribe is superior to others.You are quick to insult.

Mad madina tong. If you think Dinka are the only people who fought the civil war alone well and good. But the me tell you that your subhuman creatures WILL NEVER TAKE EQUATORIANS LAND BY FORCE. Have you ever heard that equatoria have stolen your cattle or children? Such mentality of who fought and who did not is the course of the ongoing fighting in Jongile. Continue preaching to your grandchild

Hi Southerners, becareful! Your true enemy will jump in to fuel the conflict. They always pretend to be from either community in the South. I witnessed this on many issues discussed on discussion boards. It should be good for all you to condmn the action. I do not think killing someone because he belongs to certian community is a good idea.

madina tonj
from where did you get these figure of 1/2 milion dinkas who died in equatoria zones ?it was only zendia batalion that come for mobolisation in eastern equatoria and one batalion of muormuor called neran that come in eastern equatoria.the full batalion is compose of 1,200times 2=2400 and they dont even fought because the war was not yet decleared...fool yuor dinkas but not us

in 1987 the formation of bright star compaign,all dinkas where ask to go and liberate their sectors and equatorians too..these one make dinkas to seek for political asylum due to their cowardness..daniel awet akot agree with arabs in bahr elgazal and creat suk salam..in 1991 bor were diplace to uganda and equatorians manage to liberate all equatoria under mamur and those of jadala and thomas ceril

This incidence is very unfotunate but it will open the eyes of both the levels of government in Juba and the communities living thereto chart the land problem. The authorities need to understand that South Sudanese need to settle inorder to develop. Up to now,govrnment seems not having any plan to do this. A lot of money has been coming right from 2005 but housing has not been seen in the budget.

Bari! Bari! Bari! be careful how you handle the independent heroes the Dinka and Nuer. When the war was fought Equatorians attack people at the back through their militia called Equatoria Defend Force(EDF). You either comply and not act like heroes when you were cowards during the struggle war. Thanks to those who revenge with the huge force against the cowards culprits who attacked first.

Dakoom, Forget about EDF, I thing you can remember you put his ass to sign agreement with Jalaba, these are the people you are ointing to not Equatorian, Secondly you have to know that LAND belong to Community, but not DINKA OR NUER Community it is only BAR, BARI , BARI , BARI ,BARI ,BARI ,BARI COMMUNITY, Finally you have to becarefull when writing this because Bari will fuck you ass soon baby.

Stupid Bari, instead of worshipping Dinka & Nuer you refused them plots of land. Dinka rescued you from Arabs when the fuck you with your women. If you don`t stop that then Juba will be owned forcible when the government seat is taken to Ramshiel.Dinka & Nuer died for Juba.

What is really wrong with you Jenge? Why are you always "stuck on stupid" and when will your "kind" ever cease to act primitive, because sincerly, educated or not, you people are no different from animals, or is it the cow syndrome; spending time with cows sure made you people behave like them. All you cows know is violence, thuggery, corruption and sleeping with your own mothers.
kokora soldier.

It is unfortunate that we have people in South Sudan who are good at taking the law into their own hands.Respect of the law and human live is paramount to any nation.
To me the person who shoot these people should be taken to firing squad.You can not just kill innocent people remain on earth doing what?If there is problem,the law is there to help you.

my heartfelt condolence goes to families who lost theirs belove one.such devils acts was instigated by ramnants of arabs mentally enslaved bastards.The arabs were yr masters but they have gone.this is the right time to forget them n their act n embrace yr southern brotherhood.

Viper, bari were the only strong group that time, rujal mafi is the given to this market not by arab but by Equatorian during the beginning of kokora, as you fucking brothers will answer you.
Forget about all silly statement you mentioned, we don’t have Gun Bro, but soon you will shut you ugly ass to Grave, ok, we don;t have any place to go, only to fuck your ass out of this JUBEK LAND. Coming day

Lojuba,Do you want to deny the fact that you were the only pple whose wives were taken by Arabs at day light? The most abused ladies during the war were the ladies of Bari in Juba here. You want to tell me that these Lubas mafi and Rujal mafi were named during kokoro? Then what do they mean? Those who fought kokoro with ur fathers do not speak Arabic. The like

Well Bari community were people with no sense at all, they attack none Bari communities by terming them land grabs while they bought it! Why you don’t even do that when Arab is present in Juba. Now you discriminates those whose brothers and cousin lost their life on land you -claiming. What selfishness to Bari community? Anyway the city will be move soon and your land will be given to you Bari.

life without(liberates) dinka is inevitable in south sudan ,bari communities don’t understand the benefit of capital city the people they attacked are people who built what do you call juba bari people suppose to get it right moving the city because land dispute is unpatriotic.get out of your laziness and join the liberates to build our nation

EMP......WHO IS LAZY, 5 YRS PAST LOOK AT BARI, BARI BARI LANDS AND LOOK WHERE YOU ARE LEAVING!!!! WHO IS LAZY, MY BRO , GO TO DEVELOP YOUR LAND LEAVE BARI ALONE, GO WITH YOUR OIL, BARI DEVELOP THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN NATURAL RESOURSES GIVEN BY GOD, AND GOD KNOWS WHY HUMAN IS CREATED IN THIS BELOVE LAND, BARI LAND , BARI LAND. GIVE THANKS TO BARI LAND TO HIDE YOUR ASS FROM YOUR UGLY REBELS.

we put juba in the map and your lazy ass talking shit the land is belong to nation not one tribe bari, if your boss DR john grang didnt legislate land law you talking about now you wouldn’t know nothing wake up and teach your alien people

Lojuba, are you really in juba? Do you love Bari community? If you were than you could contrast the structure of Juba at pass and now? But I know you are not here and you are primative minded and man of tribalism. We know the reason that you hate us, it because we don’dislike way Arab use your mum in Juba. You don’t have laterint when Arab present,Bari use tin at backyard to put your shit in!.

@ Chol, shame on you. Which tribe in the South has the highest number of bastards with the Arab? DInka, which tribe sleeps with the Arabs day in day out? Dinka, which tribe has traitors in Khartoum to fight the South, Dinka/Nuer. The list is endless, go check your DNA and for sure, an Arab must have screwed your granny for the love of a cow in return some ages ago. Shame on u bastard!

Mi Diit.
I like your comment, thats the comment of statesmanship, keep it up. Bari too should consider other southerners like brothers, My Plot was grabbed by a Bari man after his colleagues from land commision gave him title deeds in which he came and claim my plot in Munuki, i lived there since 72. Im from Chukudum and I lived in Munuki since 70s but this Bari man reclaimed my plot.

Let us get the facts straight;
1. If the land belongs to the community, then the Bari have the right over their Land, God created all of us with Land to belong to.
2. The Jenge are creatures close to humans who only opt for violence to obtain anything.
3. They claim to have fought for the liberation of South Sudan, but all they did was kill each other, Dinka/Nuer. Some SPLA never saw an Arab.

@Wadjube
you suppose to know the rules in war zone how it look like blaming ourselves on killing each other is not a solution,north sudan had a big hand mobilizing southerns against each other and took a advantage of our differences

Emp....Please Bari LAND is for Bari Community Only, who are you to open your fucking ass by Arabs to say that it is belong to the Nation, who is nations are they not Dinka and Nuer??
we Bari we are nto keeping quit for all this shit, we will pay back then we will come to table to discuss other.
fuck you and you ugly khartoum ass agreement

don’t ever think we can brain wash easily like what Arab did to Equatorian i know south Sudanese people have never experience living together as one nation,so get it right juba belong to everyone form south,forget about your old arab mentality ,

EVERY HUMEN BEING IN SOUTH HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THIS "live without dinka and neur is inevitable in south"

WHO ARE THOSE FUCKING ARAB HAND USERS, COWARD MAN KILLING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, WE WILL SEE AROUND THE CORNERS OF JUBEK, POISONERS WAKEUP, ROBEA KAT WAKE UP, KASUMAK KI LO WAKE, COWBOYS FINISH YOUR COWS NOW KILLING YOU MOTHERS, WOMAN, CHILDREN, I THINK IT IS TIME.

DINKA PEOPLE! DID YOUR CONSTITUTION TELLS YOU TO ROB LANDS IN EQUATORIA? LOOK! YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MOTHERFUCKING PROBLEMS! THIS IS A WORNING! WHEN YOU CAN’T SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS DON’T RUN AWAY, IT WILL FOLLOW YOU. YOU KNOW VERY WELL EQUATORIANS ARE WORSE WARRIORS THAN YOU MAY THINK! DON’T ATTEMPT! I REPEAT DON’T EVER ATTEMPT THIS ACT AGAIN!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uBAsrhYfNs&feature=y

Anynya ZERO
you suppose to ask your locate government and bari chiefs did your constitution tells you to sell land to people and reclaim it back, because mayor of juda and his gang will not solve your problem,can you leave dinka alone because is your problem

Anyanya one,
It seem like you are joking with Dinka and Nuer community, these two tribes were have both in common, first is social if need you need they were. Second warriors/ fight, if you want to fight they were go on endless. Please don’t talk about Equatorian warriors, we know who were the fighters. And believe if there is war now you could either be on your way to Uganda, Congo or Kenya.

ChOL ASS, let me expalin to you what you don’t know, you will never use Nuer to clear way for your Fucking Arab Ass plan, secondly you don’t know who are the BARI SPEAKERS Community, am talking as a Bari tribe, btiu a Bari Speakers community.
Finally let me express to kuku, kakwa, bari,nymbara, and all
greater Equatoria warriors, it is time, to revise our Issues.

Fokes don’t just say I don’t you! I know each and every tribes in east and central Equatoria and know who run to Uganda and Congo including you. Please I want you research about both Dinka and Nuer before you claim to warriors that will defeat Dinka. You Bari in juba were so selfish and after food only. You were with Arab in Juba betraying none Bari to be kill but this time differents.

THIS ACT WAS DONE BY DINKA, THEY WROTE NUER SO THEY LOOK TWINS, BUT NOP. AND THERE IS NO MAN WHO DROVE AND KILLED ANY DINKA, IT IS A COVER. SO NOW YOU YOUNG DINKANS, MAKE PEACE AND GO BACK TOU YOUR PLACES OR KEEP IT UP AND KILL JUBANS, BUT DON’T REGREAT LATER. COZ EQUATORIANS CAN EXPEL YOU AS EASY AS MAYONNAISE. EQUATOTIANS HAHAHAHA.. CAN MINIMISE YOUR COMPLETE FREEDOM TO ZERO. WATCH OUT FOOLS!

Anynya one,
I believe some Equatorian who suffered between Uganda and Southen Sudan weren’t happy about your attitudes. If you people think Dinka were bad than Arab then claim Arab back to Juba but we need you to hire our pass to past in dinka land to Juba to use you. We don’t need to use your wives because they so dark and dirty. You hate us becuase we don’t give you things free, why you are lazy

EMP... am sorry for Nuer, they have been used by DINKAS as a soldiers, secondly as A Rebels of Tribilism, every one knows what goes with Murle, it was a Dink Plan, so now they want to use you for Bari, Please you Nuer Community you have to be wise enough to look for your future, because we Bari are Dangerous than any creature on this Earth, when Equatorian started EVN YOUR TANKS or GUNS will work

WE LET YOU SERVE BECAUSE "EQUATORAN CULTURE" LETS WOMEN HELP DO HOME WORK FIRST. NOW YOU KNOW WHY WOMAN DO HOUSE WORK PERFECTLY DON’T YOU? IF YOU ARE TIRED OF HOUSE WORK AS EARLY AS THAT, SORRY! NOBODY WILL EVER WANT TO MARRY YOU BABY. BUT STILL MEN MUST NOT BACK UP COZ IS MENS DUTY TO ASSIST. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS PIECE YOUNG MEN... HAHAHA OCHAKAKOLAMBA

When writers talk of Dinka and Nuer being a problem,it is true.Let us not deny the truth.We have been in the war thought out and have witnessed this from our brothers.I believe one feels not to be a neighbor with them,because anytime you can have problem whether you like or not and this could be the reasons why Baris do not want their land.Alot has happened even in other parts of Tonping.

During the war, a fight broke out in Koboko btn the natives in Koboko and the Dinka/Nuer.What on hell are you to exercise your unbecomings in a foreign country.I remember that fight even claimed lives imagine,this is bad!!!!
So fellow brothers,a good neighbor is always a resource.
Please repent for the kingdom of God is coming.Do not let this country to be a fail state like Somalia.

We should refrain from all these comments, we consider any brother/sister suffering in the hands of jallaba and anyone can give his live for other southerner. i do blame the govt here because they have been quite on this issue of land since 2005, Juba could be treated differently even if the land belongs to the community because it is the capital of all southerners, decision must be find.

Bravo Dear Robot
Too many people today are over-dependent, expecting somebody else or the government to take care of them. God’s goal for each of us is that we mature and grow up, not be independent nor over-dependent, but interdependent. If we don’t take care of ourselves and accept responsibility for getting our needs met in healthy ways, nobody else is going to do it for us.Be careful you guys

This is too much! Your advice is good for the DINKA tribes who think they have the spirit of WAR & FIGHT to get whatever they want. In reality, they luck the spirit of valuing human lives, trying to play with other peoples real blood and flash within South Sudan. If it didn’t change, believe it! Equatorians will do it for them. Break away in to another country may not be a bad idea. Thanks..

Anyway brother what you have said is okey.It is not always good to generalize things.But what I have said is facts.I would say,out of 100% of these two tribes,only 20% can understand and I believe you may be one of the 20%,please use you way of looking at things to educate your people.
I am writing out of experience,remember in 80s school demonstrations were common and lives claimed.

When I see you writing that the war in the South was fought only by Dinkas and Nuer,you become a laughing stock to me.It seems you were in Australia and America or even in the Kraal and is green about the war.Let me let it known to you that the equatorians were behind the war.The war could have ended by us loosing if it was left to you only as claimed by you.
Come in and go out was the system.

Where were these stupid Equatorians/Nyam-Nyam/Dor during the wars? Who care about them? We are waiting for u with your Juju/Magic.Where was your magic?How can we stay with these stupid apes?Tomorrow in Jonglei,I don’t want to see any apes whether he/she works in NGO or in the bar,they must go back.Death to any apes(Bari) and their associates!!

guys,oil is nothing compared to LAND.just respect the owners of the land.oil will get finished tomorrow but land won’t. by the way,we Equatorians benefit nothing from this oil you are boasting so much of.you starting stealing the oil just at drilling wells,then you follow it upto Juba and loot the oil money in millions, so why do you think Equatoria would lose if you deny them oil?

Equatoria can live without oil.get this fact right.these people,Equatorians,are kind and peaceful but provoking and humiliating them in their own native land would bring you to regret big time.you Dinka and Nuer, where do you put the millions of dollars you are looting everyday? can you go and build your states and live there? for those who don’t know, this is not only Bari issue, beacause among..

this is not only Bari issue, because among the dead and seriously injured people are those from Yambio, Torit,and juba.these savage brothers,Dinka and Nuer, do not have any respect at all to the natives.we humbly ask them to go back to their jungle states and mess there.there is no single Equatorian who own any piece of land in Dinka region.do they really question themselves why? the worse thing..

I wouldn’t like to generalize, but many Dinka & Nuer are arrogant. You should treat the native with respect. Provoking anybody in his own land will make him react whatever peaceful he is. This childish Ruach always astonish me, You called Equatorian foreigners because you were taught in Itang refugee camp where you studied only geography of your country Ethiopia. You laugh at Dinka scars while Nue

while Nuer railways is something laughed at wherever you go around the world. When we were in an East African Youth conference in Nairobi Nuer young men like Ruach used to wear hats 24rs a day to cover their shame. Because you didn’t attended formal education let teach you about South Sudan Anthropology. There are three main ethnic groups in South Sudan:

1. Nilotics (majority) Jieng, Naath, Luo group like Chollo, Bari speakers group like Bari & others
2. Bantus (2nd majority) like Azande, Balanda, Baka & others mainly in WES & WBGS 3. Nilo-Hamitic like Toposa, Murlei & others in EES. learn about your country. But I think you are not a South Sudan Nuer but a foreign Ethiopian Nuer. (Apology for any Nuer hurt you are good people this only for Ruach)

the worse thing is that the educated Dinka/Nuer is more confused and useless than illiterate ones.what a shame if you cannot even enlighten your people to a civilize life.Equatoriansincluding Murle do not have any problems with other nondinka/nonnuer communities,such as shilluk,people of wau,fertit,etc because these are very peaceful brothers and they can live with us without any trouble...

Passive citizen.This land of South Sudan belong to Greater Nilotes and we deserve to own it any where.I ’ll let all Dor to leave Jonglei whether they are working in NGOs or in the markets, they must go back.We don’t need you to study our regions(Greater Upper Nile and Greater Bahr El Ghazal).Death to any Bari/Bar and their associates apes

Dinka and Nuer are very low life lawless people who do not even respect their own constitution.even the so called minister of justice,john Luk jok, protested in the parliament that those who stole millions and billions of national finance will not be prosecuted because the list is full of his relatives.no shame? there is no doubt why he was put their.

We Greater and true Nilotes must educate any human beings who still think like apes.We must manufacture them & make them live like human!@Good ape.How come you call your liberators(Nuer+Dinka)lawless and low very low life pple?Where were these apes during the wars claiming the land today?This land was claimed through bullete leave alone ur Rujal Mafi,Labas Mafi!Death to u!

ruach dont full your self please...dont you know the true fighters of the liberation ?see all those batalions,zalzal,kazuk,few in muormuor,we fought up to your own land.we liberate all equatoria up to khorbou....tell me your front line out of handing oil to omer beshir and being arabs militias ?FOOD LOVERS

please you can go on looting your oil money but leave Equatorian land alone.our land will feed us.go and loot cows but don’t touch EQUATORIAN’s LAND please.until dinka and nuer know the value of life and how to live peacefully with others, no one will come close to you.

please we leave you with your claims of wars, fighting among yourselves.dinka and nuer were fighting each other during the movement much more than fighting with Arabs, so is that what you are boasting of? please we leave you with your claims of wars and ’victories’ but leave EQUATORIAN LAND ALONE.do you hear? i know you people can only listen when the bullets flashes your ass.no shame?

WAAAH TRIBAL CONFLICT HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN IN SOUTH SUDAN BEFORE,DURING AND AFTER THE 2 CIVIL WARS. IT’S SO OFTEN THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE CARE ANYMORE BUT, WHATEVER, NOT PART OF MY COUNTRY SO.... I DON’T CARE. BUT, THAT PICTURE OF SOUTH SUDANESE POLICE IS GREAT I REALLY LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!

some people think they should be showered with flowers as they walk because they fought the war. some people call themselves educated yet all they do is talk trash about other tribes. SORRY YOU ARE NOT EDUCATED, you just know how to type.

we want to know how eastern equatorian two count men become a victim of this war.
we are still coordinating our investigations to find how our men waskilled in this war
finding that our men was killed innocentely,we are going to revenge negatively

Southsudannation.com :(For now three consecutive days the Nuers residing in Komiru Village, north of Juba, have taken the law into their own hands by killing innocent civilians and children for no apparent reasons. When demolitions are declared, it is not the Bari who decide but the Juba Town Council Demolitions Committee. Yesterday they killed more than 30 people (Bari) as per UNIMISS report but

Every time I read Ruech comments,it is like he lacks what to write.Did he go to school to read only insulting words?If you only have those words,go back to school.Do not use your ugly words to ignite tribalism.You are a useless barbun.
Yesterday,I listened Engineer Atems Ngor’s words over radio,those are encouraging words of unity,and these are the kind of people we want to unite the nation.

Tik yual gaak bee reek dhooli waang! bia laac yen ji Pham!
tik yual gaak bee reek dhooli waang!bia laac yen ji pham!
Let Bari know these people there are temperory, they will be gone some time later. why Deng people while Arab where there no one never talk. Equators should make relations among southern than causing hatred.

The ruthless, thugs and gang of mother fucker Dr Riek Machar are the one instigated the lands is for Bari and Dinka not Nuer intruders who went to Khartoum to betrayed the same land. Death to Riek Machar Tenyamok, Pualino Matipamok and James Hosamok

Stupid bari people which land u guys talking abt wit out dinak and nuer who fought for that fucking land , where were u when arabic was using it for more than 100 yres , u were not saying nothing , now war is not over arabic are coming back we will see who is man enough to confront it

YEAP COME ON! IDIOT... TRY AGAIN AND SEE HOW YOU’RE GOING TO SUCK MY DICK FOOL. WE ARE WAITING TO SEE YOU ACT FOOLISHLY YOU THINKING LIKE A COW. YOU WILL FOUND YOUR ASS IN ETHIOPIA YOUR ANCESTORS. BULL SHITT!!!

Alan.. Sick! listen to Elusai, the South war was not fought only by Dinkas and Nuer,you become a laughing stock to me.It seems you were in Australia and America or even in the Kraal and is green about the war.Let me let it known to you that the equatorians were behind the war.The war could have ended by us loosing if it was left to you only as claimed by you.
Come in and go out was the system.

YEAP COME ON! IDIOT... TRY AGAIN AND SEE HOW YOU’RE GOING TO SUCK MY DICK FOOL. WE ARE WAITING TO SEE YOU ACT FOOLISHLY YOU THINKING LIKE A COW. YOU WILL FOUND YOUR ASS IN ETHIOPIA YOUR ANCESTORS. BULL SHITT!!!

Kurnyel.There is nothing called Dinka-Nuer.If u say that word,it is the combination of the two tribes when they are walking together to discuss and solve the matter.Otherwise,Jaang/Slave are already integrated in our society.When they go to Nuerland,they don’t like to come back b/s it is a paradise for them!

Without Shame DINKA and Nuer are the only tribe giving troubles to others in south sudan, why only you idiots, why don’t yo go to schools to clear cowboys ugly brain, Killing is the only tool of survivable on this comunities.

We Bari will teach you a lession soon, we will never giveup, even Your ugly bosses will never believe.
In south Sudan we Bari commuity believe that without REVENGE NO PEA

@LOJUBA
Men of sense often learn from their mistake all Equatorian still have portrayal mentality a against dinka and they play abig roll try to sell out south because of dinka, please can you go to school to learn how to be patriotic because dinka already went to school that why you got liberated from slavery,is just simple matter but you just try to politesse it,

Emp..... who is selling out south sudan? is it not you cheap Nuers and dinkas?? you surrender to Jalaba in 1997 is Equatoria, mother fucker, if you don’t know history of south sudan please come to Equatoria primary school we offer you free cerificate because i know this is how all you stupid boss holding now.
